WIDOW’S MITE Tilly feels like a poor relation. She and her young son certainly wouldn’t be living with her cousin Sybil unless they had to. But tonight, as usual, Sybil has had too much to drink, and needs to lie down for a bit before her dinner guests arrive. It falls to Tilly to accompany her upstairs, and naturally Sybil asks for one of her pills. There is only one left, but Tilly dutifully fetches it. After that, Sybil seems to fall asleep almost immediately. How is Tilly to know that the pill contains cyanide? Naturally, the police are suspicious. But how can she confess that she was one who gave it to Sybil when there is no else to protect her son? WHO’S AFRAID? It all seemed like an exciting new adventure to Susie Alban, selling Gateway’s culture program for Mr. Chiswick. But her first appointment goes sour when the husband of her first contact, hearing the name Chiswick, becomes verbally abusive and slams the door in her face. Later that evening, she comes across the body of the husband on the path to her lodging. The police think that Susie is involved. But this is only the beginning of her problems. Because someone starts shadowing her. Could it be the doctor who befriended her on the train? Or the young student? Or the darkly handsome Mr. Loder? Or even the owner of the lodging house? For whatever reason, one of them wants Susie dead.
